- Mr Winehouse said he can still sense Amy is close by and can hear her words of encouragement whenever he takes to the stage, reported Contactmusic.
- "She's standing next to me, every time I go out on that stage. She's there all right, I feel her, sense her. She's in here now saying, 'Just get on with it, Dad'. I always speak to her, all day, every day," he said.
- Although Mr Mitch says life is still difficult without the 27-year-old Back To Black hitmaker, he believes establishing his charity, the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which trains recovering addicts to go into schools and speak of their experiences, has made him a better man.
- "Before she died, I wasn't very industrious but now I'm a different person. It changed my life. After Amy died, I wanted to do something that mattered, which is how the Amy Winehouse Foundation came about," he said.
- "Who would have thought that three years on we would have achieved so much? I know Amy is very proud. She would not have wanted us to wallow in grief," Mr Mitch said.
